This blended approach provides flexibility while ensuring that students develop both the theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical skills required to demonstrate competency in emergency response and rescue operations.
Assessment Methods
Assessment is conducted by qualified assessors using a combination of tools and methods, in accordance with the principles of assessment (fairness, flexibility, validity, reliability) and the rules of evidence (valid, sufficient, current, authentic). Students will be assessed as either Competent or Not Yet Competent based on their performance against the unit requirements.
Assessment methods may include:
- Direct observation of practical skills and tasks during training exercises
- Verbal questioning to assess underpinning knowledge
- Written responses to theory-based questions
- Portfolio evidence, including completed workplace documents or work samples
- A combination of the above methods, as appropriate for each unit
Evidence Collection
Evidence of competency is gathered throughout the course and may include:
- Completion of theory questions through structured learning plans in the Learning Management System (LMS)
- Observation checklists completed by the trainer during practical assessments
- Submission of portfolio evidence, such as workplace forms, reports, or documentation relevant to unit outcomes
This comprehensive approach ensures all students are assessed fairly, consistently, and in accordance with the unit requirements of the Introduction to Industrial Fire Suppression Training.
